More than 100 current and former rowers, coaches and parents came to the boathouse on Sat., July 28 to celebrate AJRA’s 25th season of rowing, which begins this fall. The kick-off event included the dedication of the club’s new trophy case and a display featuring each boat that earned a trip to Youth Nationals as well as a timeline of AJRA highlights during the its first 25 years.
The club’s newest 8 — the Coach John Pearson — also was christened. Following the program, alumni took to the water to challenge current rowers but, despite a great effort, were narrowly edged out.
Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate this important milestone!
